Ice Sculptors

Ice sculptors are professional artists who specialize in dealing with ice carving. This is a craft that was originally started in Europe, and has gained significant popularity in the past century. Experts in this business commonly sculpt decorative centerpieces for weddings, restaurant party events, and holiday celebrations. It all begins with a large block of ice, which must remain frozen the entire time it is being worked on. This way, the sculpture can be presented and put on display as a type of exhibit for everyone to appreciate.
As you may be aware, ice sculptors carve out decorative pieces in all shapes and sizes for various clients. It can take a great deal of time and effort to mold frozen water into a themed centerpiece. Furthermore, unless the sculpture is placed on display in the snow, it can melt very quickly, especially during warm seasons, as well as indoors. While some artists and sculptors may work on displays for a hotel or restaurant setting, others may deal with holiday parties and custom frozen bar exhibits. There are ice carvings that function as drink centerpieces to hold vodka or other liquors. This way, the alcohol flows down the themed sculpture in order to be chilled before it hits the glass.
You may want to speak with a local ice sculptor or ice carving artist to learn more about this industry. This way, you can inquire more about decorative wedding sculptures, party catering pieces, luge carvings, and how long it takes to finish carving a new exhibit from a large block of ice.

Ice sculptures are beautiful additions to any party, but you have to find a sculptor who has the artistic talent and training to make a variety of shapes like cherubs, dragons, castles, wedding couples, and birthday cakes. You can find ice sculptors listed in your online directory, but depending on the area that you live in there could be a large number of them to choose from. Following these guidelines will help you determine which artists are right for you. First, write down the names and numbers of some of the artists so that you can keep your information organized. Contact one and ask them how long they have been in business. If they have several years of carving experience, then they should know how to make cherubs, waterfalls, castles, houses, figures, and other special shapes out of the frozen blocks. Ask the sculptors if they can incorporate snow into their work. Snow can give it a beautiful appearance. Ask them if they can have reusable molds that they can use to make a liquor luge as well for your event. A liquor luge lets guests poor drinks like vodka martinis and shots down the frozen carvings so that they are cold when they reach the bottom. You will want to ask the sculptors to give you written price quotes for their services so that you can compare their prices easily. Depending on the artist's skills and demand, he or she might charge more money than you want to pay.
